Is there any benefit in the recruiter not checking in - in other words, perhaps if you don’t ask they can eventually come back with an offer (if other candidates turned them down etc), but if you push for an answer they may just say no?

Why do firms take this long to respond? Especially if they say they need associates of your class year?

Waiting for responses from their preferred offerees

I understand this might sound a little snobby but I'm not trying for it to come off that way. I've been around impressive people throughout my adult life. T-14 and big law have placed me in the company of some really accomplished individuals. It likely skewed the bar in terms of what I find as impressive.
